Unfortunately, this is a time of year when many people will return from their summer holiday to discover their home has been ransacked by burglars.
The most recent British Crime Survey data published last month showed that the number of domestic burglaries in England and Wales has fallen dramatically in recent years - from 1.7m in 1996 to 729,000 in 2007/08 because most people are using a burglary alarm.
What are the different types of alarm systems? Broadly, it boils down to a choice between "bells-only", a monitored alarm and/or a speech dialler. • A bells-only alarm, aka an audible-only alarm, simply makes a racket when it is triggered. A bells-only alarm may deter intruders and alert your neighbours when it goes off, but on its own won't generate a police response, says Eagle Security Solutions, based in Greenwich, south-east London. Which? says you should expect to pay £390-£600 for one of these. • With a monitored alarm, you pay extra to have your system connected via telephone line or radio network to a "receiving centre", which typically monitors signals received from your alarm 24 hours a day. What might happen is that a detector is triggered and a signal is sent to the receiving centre. Someone at the centre then immediately phones your home for password identification and to check everything is OK. If the password ID is not given, or the phone is not picked up, one of the keyholders you have nominated and/or the police are notified. A monitored alarm will incur monthly or annual service charges on top of the installation costs. • A speech dialler is a cheaper alternative to a monitored system. This is a device that can be connected to an alarm, or may already be built into the control panel. If there is a break-in, the speech dialler automatically calls the phone numbers that have been programmed in and leaves a pre-recorded message. Which? says having a speech dialler installed as an extra typically costs £100 to £150
